Europe in the Year 2010: Implications for Central Europe and the Balkans

Purchase Print Copy

This paper examines the impact of three different scenarios on the evolution of East Central Europe and the Balkans. The first scenario foresees a Europe that is muddling along, not developing into a strong united entity with a cohesive foreign and security policy but not being engulfed by nationalism and protectionism. The second scenarios looks at a Europe that is becoming fragmented and inward-looking. The third scenario foresees Europe emerging as a strong, united entity, one capable of being a genuine partner for the United States.
